The EOSC Tripartite Governance has released an updated policy narrative for EOSC.
The paper has been produced in the context of two significant advances for EOSC over the past year:
- the increasingly prominent position of EOSC in the European policy landscape as the Union negotiates its next framework programme for research and innovation, FP10;
- and the November 2025 launch of the EOSC Federation and its expansion through 2026.

At a moment when Europe’s competitiveness and values, digital sovereignty, strategic autonomy, and data security are under unprecedented pressure, EOSC becomes far more than a research instrument: it becomes a strategic priority for the Union to build a resilient, productive and sovereign knowledge economy. EOSC is not simply aligned with EU ambitions but, as the evolving EU policy landscape has made explicit, it is indispensable to delivering them.
The narrative elaborates EOSC’s seven policy impact areas
EOSC secures Europe’s sovereignty over research data, enables a thriving AI and innovation ecosystem, increases security in research, strengthens the Single Market for knowledge, and ensures that European values—openness, trust, and fairness—remain the foundation of global collaborative science.
